Founded in the shadows of (and protected from the northwest winds by) the giant rock that is Solutré, Jean-Pierre and Michel Auvigue continue family tradition by producing topnotch Mâconnais wines. Known for their Pouilly-Fuissé, it's the steel tank fermented le Moulin du Pont (their cellars are of the same name) St. Veran that's their hidden gem.
